PUMP.

SPECEFICATIDN Application mea Jun 29. 1900.

T all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUGUST C. FONG, a citizen of the United States of America, residing. at South Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Syrup-Pumps, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to certain improvements in syrup-pumps of the class which are ertion through the top of a barrel to pu'mp the'syrup out ofthe same into asuitable vessel and at the same time measure the quantity discharged.

The invention consists ip certain novel characteristics, which will be fully set forth and defined below.

In the drawings, Figure ll is a side elevation of a complete pump, except that the middle portion is, broken out to shorten the view.

zo Fig. 2 is a verticaldiametrical-sectiou of the bottom of the pump in line 2 2 of Fig. l. Fig.

3 is a similar section in line 3 3 of Fig. 6. Fig.

4 -is a plan of the pump and valve-casing.

v Fig. 5 is a horizontal section looking dowii- 2g Ward, taken in the line 5 5 of Fig. 3;' and Fig. (i is a similar section in line 6 6 of Fig. '3.

Referring io the drawings, A is a suitable .pump-head provided with a discharge-spout a. A suitable pipe B is secured in the head,

wedge into an opening in the top of the barrel sufficient to admit'the pump-casing. To the lower end of this pipe is threaded a valvecasing C, and to the lower end of the valvecasing is threaded a pump-casingil?. In tlla bottom of the pump-casing is an islet-cha ber d, separated from the outside by means of a series of struts d', permitting a free lpas` sage of molasses between them. Above this 4o chamber d is the pump-chamber d2, formed by making an annular bore into the top of the pump-casingand providing a cylindrical stem da, concentric with the walls of the valve-cas'- ing. A lateral recess cl4 connects the annu- 43 lar pump-chamber with the inlet-chamber d at one side of the casing, and asimilar recess d5 extends upward from the side of the pumpchamber opposite lo the recess d". Upon the top of the stem d3 is an eccentric bearing d6, upon which is set a circular pump-hub E, pro- A vided with a round socket e to receive the.

bearing. The lower end of the hub is bored upwardly to clear the stem da and is slotted radially to gnide'a series of sliding blades or paddles F, which are also guided b stem and the outer walls of the pump-chamber. 'The hub is so proportioned as to reach these walls at one side and at a point located between the recesses d4 d5, so that the rota-A tion of the-hub will draw in molasses through 6o theinlet-opening d4 and crowdit out through v the outlet-opening or recess d5. .A hollow cap G is preferably threaded to theinterior of the valve-casingC, between said valve-casingandthe pump-casing, and is bored eccentrically at g to receive and furnish a bearing for the upper end e of the hub, which is reduced in di- I ameter for this purpose. y This cap -has anopening g' at one side to registerwith the recess d5, au annular chamber g2 connecting the 7o said opening and an annular opening g3, preferably arranged concentrically about the hub, above which a valve H is guided upon said hub to close said opening. This valve slides up upon the hub 'to-allow the molasses to rise 75 into the pump, out closes by gravity to prevent the return of the same.

The top of the hub contains a square socket c2 to receive a square shaft I, extending to thel top of the pump and secured against rotation 8o' mesh with a bevel-gear K, rotated by a. han le N. The rotation of` the handle tn rns the pump-hub and forces In a device of theclass described the above 8 5- construction has great advantages because of the ease with which it is assembled in manufacture and taken apart and put'together for The pump-casing an'd the operating re ea'sily reached byvun- 9o screwing the pum p-ca'sin'g from the valve-'casing.` The unscrewin of the cap will thenen- Aablethe valve and t e pump-hub to .be re-Y reached with ".1

I claim as new and desire ters Patenti- 1., In a device of the class described, the combinationlwitha suitable pipe, of a valvecasing secured to the bottom thereof, a pumploo casing secured to thebottoin of the valve-casing, a removable partition between the two to secure by Letet'ween the 5'5 provided with suitable, pessegee connecting the i nteriors of the two Qesi n gs, fa, rotary piiin p-4 hub having e bem'i-ngjn the partition, e valve `guided upon seid hubto close the opening through 'the same and Ineens for roteti n g said blib; substantially es described*` `2.
